Hi authors, PCE WG I did a read through of the document – keep in mind I'm absolutely not an optical person and have very limited knowledge in optics therefore much of the content and use case flew over my head so I can't judge on its accuracy/correctness/usefulness 😊 With that said, the overall document structure is well written and the PCEP protocol extension encoding itself and some expectations on PCE are clear.
Two questions/comments: Section 4.1 mentions S Flag for Symmetry " This flag is only meaningful when the request is for a bidirectional LSP " and references RFC5440 - but RFC5440 doesn't actually use the terms symmetry/symmetrical, or bidirectional. Therefore, I assume this is trying to reference Synchronized Path Requests / SVEC. If so, it might be worth explicitly mentioning see section 7.13 in RFC5440? Regarding Error-Type TBD7:1 -> insufficient memory - is this related to the memory of the PCE itself? This feels like more of a generic PCEP kind of error rather than anything to do with flexi grid-based computations? I guess I'm wondering what value this is to RSA requests, and, also whether a PCE would implement or be capable of responding to PCReq with errors if it has insufficient memory. At that point it should go into overload state instead which implicitly signals to the PCC to stop sending PcReq? i.e is this useful? and if so, should it be scoped within RSA error codes? Or should the implementation just go to overload and drop incoming PcReq which achieves the same?
